Legion World Forums LEGION COMPANION Spaceopoly Multiverse Legion Idol! (WE HAVE A WINNER!)

Thanks Blacula, but I checked and these are the right ones

Adding in alternate versions also adds to the difficulty. I haven't even finished my own list yet!

I find it interesting that a lot of us have such eclectic lists. Of the 4 votes so far, all have a healthy mix of Legionnaires from various realities.

Mine's quite skewed, though, since the Postboot Legion was my Legion during my formative years.


1) (Postboot) Kinetix
2) (Postboot) Brainiac 5
3) (Postboot) Gates
4) (Postboot) Monstress
5) (Postboot) XS
6) (Postboot) Live Wire
7) (Postboot) Kid Quantum II
8) (Postboot) (Shrinking) Violet/ LeViathan
9) (Postboot) Shikari
10) (Postboot) Saturn Girl
11) (Postboot) Chameleon
12) (Postboot) Apparition
13) (Postboot) Wildfire
14) (Postboot) Umbra
15) (Preboot) Polar Boy
16) (Preboot) Bouncing Boy
17) (Glorithverse) Nightwind
18) (Retroboot) Gates
19) (Postboot) Magno
20) (Retroboot) Chameleon Girl
21) (Glorithverse) Laurel Gand
22) (Glorithverse) Spider-Girl
23) (Preboot) White Witch
24) (Postboot) Dreamer
25) (Postboot) Cosmic Boy

Gosh. I could have sworn "Ferro" was a Postboot invention but I just checked and you're right. So much for my memory. Haha

As for "M'Onel". The printing in the comics themselves is all capitals so it's hard to know from them what the proper capitalization should be. Or was there an in-comic reference that revealed it that I'm forgetting?

I notice Wikipedia uses a capital "O" too but I'm wondering if they made a mistake. His name is meant to be Martian for "He who wanders" but all the Martian words I can think of have a lower case letter after the apostrophe (e.g. J'onn J'onzz).

And so ends the most pedantic post I've ever written. Haha

That is actually a very good point about M'Onel's codename, Blacula. I went and checked Legion of Super-heroes Secret Files #1 to be sure, and it is indeed M'Onel. Good catch though.

While talking about Lar's codenames - all the -Els (Mon, Kon, Kal) should have capital "E"s

1. Shadow Lass (preboot)
2. Timber Wolf (preboot)
3. Phantom Girl (preboot)
4. Lightning Lass (preboot)
5. Karate Kid (preboot)
6. Colossal Boy (preboot)
7. Ultra Boy (preboot)
8. Saturn Girl (preboot)
9. Element Lad (preboot)
10. Dream Girl (threeboot)
11. Nightwind (Glorithverse)
12. Shikari (postboot)
13. Tellus (preboot)
14. Umbra (postboot)
15. Chameleon Boy (preboot)
16. Chemical King (preboot)
17. Triplicate Girl (threeboot)
18. Mon-El (preboot)
19. Dragonmage (SW6)
20. Tyroc (retroboot)
21. Chameleon Girl (retroboot)
22. Kinetix (postboot)
23. Spider-Girl (Glorithverse)
24. Dreamer (postboot)
25. Inferno / Sandy Anderson (postboot)

This list is very much an 'at the moment' one as well. It is surprising to compare this list to ones like it years ago - my tastes have changed and its surprising how many of my old favorites haven't transitioned into recent times.

Oh my gosh, I can't believe I've been misspelling them all these years!

Same here, Future. I had a hell of a time building my list too. One of the fun things about this game is seeing how times have changed opinions. Probably half my Top 10 wouldn't have made that list years ago.

Some significant sums subsequent, I illustriously unveil an account to advantage a righteous result!

[i.e., this isn't the definitive list I'd give if I was just listing Legionnaires. It's done with much more of an eye on the final table for the round!]

1. Spark [Postboot]
2. Star Boy [Postboot]
3. Cosmic Boy [Postboot]
4. Sensor [Postboot]
5. Dreamer [Postboot]

"Some"?

Knew I could count on you to help out the Postbooters in need of help

See, I would have picked up on the "may"

I'm willing to let the "may" slide

Tallying!

Say, I haven't seen KryptonKid in a while. Wonder how he is.

ROUND FOUR RULES

NOW it's time to rank! Vote for your Top 20 Legionnaires!

Points will be given as follows:

Rank 1 - 100
2 - 80
3 - 70
4 - 50
5 - 40
6 - 35
7 - 30
8 - 25
9 - 20
10 - 15
11 - 10
12 - 9
13 - 8
14 - 7
15 - 6
16 - 5
17 - 4
18 - 3
19 - 2
20 - 1


Round ends early morning, US Pacific time, November 10, Thursday.

The ranking is purposely skewed to give many more points to the Top 10 because these are usually the most special Legionnaires for a given voter. I'll be giving more and more of a premium to the Top 5 as the list gets smaller.

We'll eliminate 20 Legionnaires to get down to 60.

House Rules

1) Each round will last about 48 hours, and will end early morning PST.
2) I'll vote at or near the start of every round to eliminate bias on my part.
3) While I don't encourage changing of votes, I won't disallow them either. I'll only tally votes at the end of each round (to make it easier on myself!). I'll post on this thread the minute I start tallying to alert everyone; votes that come in after that will be ignored.
4) In case of errors in the results, I'll post a correction immediately. If anyone's vote was affected by the error, and that poster wasn't able to correct the error in time, he or she will get a makeup vote next round - +15 points to give a Legionnaire of their choosing.
5. Ties will be broken by looking at the accumulated votes Legionnaires earned in previous rounds.
6. Voting rules may change every round, so read carefully before posting!
7. Points also reset per round, giving each Legionnaire a clean slate. But every vote is important because accumulated votes from previous rounds are used to break ties. You never know when such a vote can save one of your favorites!

Question - do the points reset each round or will you be adding this round's scores to the previous one's?

The points reset per round, although accumulated votes from previous rounds are useful because they help break ties. This is so the top scorers don't develop insurmountable leads.

Thanks for asking, I'll update the House Rules with that

No prob. Thanks.

PS, does anyone have any comments on the skewing of votes, or on the number of Legionnaires being eliminated per round?

I'm thinking I may be giving the Top 5 Legionnaires too many points; but then again, being someone's #1 favorite Legionnaire does count for a lot.

I plan to slow down the game when we get to the Top 40.
